Today's decentralized assets, such as Bitcoin and ETH, can be seen as the primitive building blocks for tomorrow's DeFi use-cases. These include lending, debt, and synthetic equities, however, we quickly come to a realization of their inherent limitations. Evan breaks down how their limitations are due to their high correlation to each other and why they bring about the need for extreme overcollateralization and the risk of autoliquidation.

This brings up a big problem in crypto that not many are addressing. The diversification of these primitive building blocks will be required for DeFi to reach its potential. Hypercorrelation is a huge problem, one that threatens the very viability of cryptocurrency.

Further topics covered in this episode:

The AMPL is a decentralized commodity-money like Bitcoin, but with near perfect supply-elasticity like fiat.

Its protocol automatically increases or decreases the quantity of tokens each user holds in response to 24 hr volume weighted price by adjusting a global scalar variable (similar to a gravitational constant or coefficient of expansion).

Because traders of this coin realize gains and losses in quantity as well as price, the protocol introduces a fundamentally new set of incentives--requiring profit-maximizing users to trade in a different manner.

Ultimately, unique behavior in response to these incentives creates a new different movement pattern, resulting in lower correlation with bitcoin and floating price assets today.

As one of China's top projects, Nervos recently partnered with crypto exchange Huobi to build a new public chain for banks and financial institutions.

Kevin was responsible for Nervos' unique token economics design where users will eventually pay "rent" to store assets and smart contracts on the network. He believes this type of model is critical if blockchains are to scale. Same goes for the layered design, which splits the public consensus layer from the transactional layer to increase a blockchain's performance while balancing security and trust.

Sedigh, CEO ofPlouton Mining, has been a life-long entrepreneur across many industries who is bringing his multi-disciplinary talents and track record of success to building N. America’s largest solar-powered bitcoin mining operation in Western Mojave California. Ramak began his professional life in the real estate industry by building a 1900-unit apartment portfolio in the late 1980s. Later, he started, built and sold a successful online tenant screening service with one of the early nationwide criminal databases in the US. Ramak has a BS in Political Science from the University of Houston.

Plouton Mining (based in LA),will be North America’s largest solar-powered bitcoin mining facility. Based on 50 acres in Western Mojave, CA, Plouton Mining will implement new sustainable mining practices via solar panels that will allow the industry to continue to grow, while also providing ordinary investors with the opportunity to participate in the process of mining via a security token. The way Plouton Mining will contract with local utility providers will allow for ultra-cheap operating costs when the sun goes down. This will benefit both the project and the utility companies themselves. Because utility companies sell the bulk of their energy during peak hours when demand is highest, they are left with an excess supply during much of the nighttime hours when demand is much lower. Plouton’s next-generation ASIC miners will operate with maximum efficiency, both day and night.

The foundation is a consortium of leading blockchain wallets, exchanges and payments providers that seeks to accelerate blockchain adoption by reducing the risk, complexity, and inconvenience of sending and receiving cryptoassets.

FIO is developing the FIO Protocol, a decentralized open-source blockchain protocol, that will enable greatly enhanced user experience inside the FIO enabled wallets, exchanges and applications of their choice.

​Erik Voorhees from ShapeShift is extremely excited about​ this project which is intended to massively improve UX of all wallet software (blockchain agnostic).

Furthermore, The ​FIO Protocol ​is a new inter-wallet operability protocol that removes the risk, complexity, and inconvenience of sending and receiving tokens and coins.

ShapeShift.io​, KeepKey, TrustWallet, Coinomi, MyCrypto, BRD, Edge & Mycelium are already signed up as members to the Foundation and will implement the protocol that provides an enhanced layer of usability features for existing and future wallets and exchanges - making the

transfer of cryptocurrencies between wallets as simple and straightforward for consumers as making transfers on PayPal.

Minds has all the same capabilities as other social media platforms. However we’ll hear from Bill why he would prefer to contrast with Facebook rather than compare.

The new ecosystem has extensive privacy features, including a non-tracking ad network, encrypted messenger, and an anonymity option. Its blockchain offers a crypto wallet, tipping for creators, a daily pool of tokens granted to users who contribute the most to the network, and peer-to-peer advertising.

Additionally we hear how Minds users are starting to drop the big F…in your Face(book) Zuck!

In addition Minds offers many more features, including monetization.

For example users can earn points for all their activities and can either sell or use those points to boost posts. Creators can set tiers of rewards with corresponding token amounts. If supporters choose to send funds on a monthly recurring basis they can access exclusive content (behind paywall) and other custom rewards that creators choose. Creators can be paid directly through their channel or through each piece of specific content. Content creators will also be able to earn tokens through our rewards system for their contributions to the network, which include receiving votes, comments, shares, gaining subscribers and referring new users.

Last week, a team of ex-blockchain developers emerged from stealth mode with a unique solution: remove the block from the blockchain.

Enter Constellation. We are joined today by CTO Wyatt Meldman-Floch and Zac Russell the Head of Marketing.

This team knows the problems of legacy blockchain protocols first hand. Upon experiencing the congestion of the Ethereum blockchain during a previous attempt to build a DApp, they pivoted to build, from the ground up, a platform protocol that relies on a horizontally scalable directed acyclic graph (DAG).

Not only does the Constellation team predict the realization of a transaction throughput several thousand times faster than most blockchains, but they believe they can achieve such speeds without the use of the plutocratic proof-of-stake mechanisms.
